Ms. Hebert also took a tremendous amount of pride in supporting her two Sons during their service to our Country, with multiple deployments to Iraq, proudly participating in Family Readiness Groups in Abbeville and Lafayette. She also enjoyed attending softball, baseball, and basketball games, soccer matches, band concerts, and anything that any of her two boys or her grandchildren participated in, and was always their biggest fan.
